No tech background. I work as a teaching assistant and after-school teacher with grades 1-4 (not exactly, but those are the closest US equivalents). Always loved technology though so I spend as much time as I can teaching my kiddos programming and other nerdy things.

Is telematican an heatpump-programmer a technical background?
Professional fundraiser, having worked in non-profit my entire career (and my university degree was in a social sciences field). I wouldn’t call myself technically proficient, but I’m technically savvy - I was an early adopter of the internet as a teen, and have been online in some form or another since the mid-90s. Fuck spez.
I don’t have a specific job, I do administrative work, customer service, worked in a few shops… I would love to work in tech but I’m not an expert, just passionate about it! I tried to follow an online course but I need a real teacher and where I live there aren’t many opportunities unless you go to university
I'm technical in a broad sense but not in the tech industry. I'm a production engineer putting in production lines for the auto industry.
Ive worked in kitchens most of my life, now I work in AI and I have my own copy editing business, and go to school for Info Systems and Supply Chain Management. Wasnt tech but im slowly pushing into it because these are skills ill need to get to retire with money in the bank.
I'm in marketing haha, I joke that I'm my parent's IT person, but that's just about as technical as I get
Not technically in tech, I'm an oceanographer but work with numerical modeling so ehhhhh
University student. Doing business. Not that tech savvy. I will learn some programing languages because finding a job(a good one) gets harder and harder every year.
Non-tech background sort of? Work in games but on the localization end of things.
